Skeletonized Oscar

• Here in LA, a skeletonized Oscar-esque statue suddenly appeared atop Runyon Canyon days before the awards show last week. For those who don’t know it, Runyon Canyon is a park in Hollywood that’s very popular with joggers, hikers and dog lovers (dogs can go unleashed and run up the canyon trails).
• No one knows who sculpted the giant Oscar, but clearly there’s a message behind it. Has plastic surgery taken over Hollywood? The world? Is there anything wrong with plastic surgery?

I don’t see it as much as a statement about plastic surgery in the industry, but as a requiem on how mainstream movies are mostly recycled, dead memes with no money going to real artists with new ideas.
